Liquid duplication generating fuel is fairly easy (build it on an ocean planet, create infinite fuel to sell) and really just involves you spamming the manipulator to collect it

Farms work well, there was a guide on best plants to use (again work good on ocean planets with lots of rain, if not using sprinklers)

Both can be somewhat passive generators

If i'm ever short on money i just sell the upgrade modules for the ship and/or matter manipulator. Those sell for a pretty penny, and i keep finding more and more of em as i go through planet surfaces. Of course, that only works if you've already upgraded stuff to the max and don't need them any further for upgrades.

One could also cruise across planet surfaces and sell any weapons and/or armor and other items of some value you don't wanna keep. Cosmetics sell reasonably well too, probably.

Edit: And for ease of selling, one could add in a merchant onto the ship via the Colony mechanics. I'd imagine a cash register and maybe some containers or shop shelves will do the job if you find any. People on the ship(world) only really hand out/sell level 1 items, but atleast they make good merchants to buy/sell from (if like, you want a cook to buy food from).

1. Fluffalo/perfect trousers
2. Rent Farm on tier 6 planet (lava)
3. Planet raiding
4. Liquid generator
5. farming coral creep/chacolate/bone boo/other crops

In that order. I've done them all. Nothing even comes to close to fluffalo farm. It's just expensive to set up at first but out competes everything by a lot.

1.4 has a great solution to money troubles: All you do is blaze through some Peacekeeper missions. once you unlock the store in the hub, use those reward tickets you get to buy as many Neo Magnums as physically possible, then sell the lot of them. They sell for loads, I never had money troubles again.

It depends on how much time and pixels you want to invest.

I prefer the farms and liquid systems for passive income while I go planet hopping and then add in tenants and other passive.

The ones where you have to craft items (perfect trousers) or do quests might have higher rewards, but require more time (and money investment )

If you play FU, then consider mining out the Mountanous planets for ore. (Bulldozer mod recommended)

i just chop down wood and make tons of wooden cabinets (those for 7 planks) i usually can get 50k pixels out of 3min work.

but i have some mods that make it a bit easier to chop down tons of trees.

trans space supply trading:

go to a space statnion
buy 25 supply for 50 up to 80-ish
go to another space statnion
sell 25 supply for 200 down to 120-ish and buy ther 25 supply
go to another space station

and repeate

note:
make sure you have a lot of fule

I think this is a mod that is allowing you to make cabinets. You can't craft them vanilla. I looked. Unless I'm missing something.

I do see however you can craft wooden tables for 15 timber. price of 70 and each 1 sells for 14. You can make a easy wood farm by using dirt background and hidden trap doors. With a flick of a switch you can cut all the trees planted. Down side is it's not worth making such a large farm or replanting for so much work/time when there are way better options.

Make Liquid Erchius Fuel using Martinus' transformation.
Centrifuge it for Silicon.
Refine Silicon for pixels.
